Since the Bear Sterns incident on Wall Street, the job market has been pretty terrible. Finding a decent job in this economy is nearly impossible. Many should consider themselves extremely lucky to have a job during this "recession".
Going into the field of architecture, I can only imagine how tough it is going to be to get a steady job. In the past few years, there haven't been an extreme amount of buildings built. Many drafters and architects have been having a rough time finding work in the La Crosse area. TCI says that they haven't had many large commercial buildings, or residential homes being designed. They have had quite a few additions to the companies and people that have benefited from these tough economic times.
This makes me wonder if the job market will pick up by the time I am out of school. The way it has been going, it doesn't look like it is going to pick up much. After the last 2 years, architects in the area say that it is just now starting to pick up. Since I have another 4 years at UW-Milwaukee, I hope that by the time I am done with school, that the economy is in a much better condition, so that people start building more, and architectural firms are hiring more and more drafters.
